The newest project underway at CBCC is the much
needed new dorm for Ecola Bible School students and Conference Center summer
staff.
During the past four years of facility
renovation, our staff, guests and Board of Directors have been updating the
Conference Master Site Plan and facility priorities for the next several
decades. A new Dining Room/Kitchen was unanimously identified as the next major
facility priority. In order to replace the Dining Room/Kitchen, however, a dorm
must be built to house the 38 students and staff currently living in the Dining
Room dorms! This would be the first dorm building built specifically for
students and staff in our history.
Located in the parking lot behind Anchorage,
the new dorm will encompass 7,800 square feet and have ten large dorm rooms on the second floor, holding
four students/staff each.
On the first floor will be office and meeting space for Ecola Bible School.
Ecola has met on the CBCC campus since it started in 1972.
Initial rough estimates of cost for
construction are between $750-850,000, about the cost of a nice home in a
desirable neighborhood of Cannon Beach! It has always been our approach before
the Lord, from the time of the McNeills, to have enough money on hand or pledged
to do the site work and framing before beginning construction. We currently have
about $520,000 on hand, enough to begin the project.
An ideal time frame would be to begin
construction in the late April 2008 and have the new building available for use by
the spring of 2009. That requires plans to be completed,
submitted and approved by the end of 2007 and bids, volunteers and sub-contractors
arranged. We’re grateful to have Guy Williams from Spokane serve as the
volunteer general contractor as we proceed with all the details.
Regular updates on the progress of the new dorm
construction project will be posted on our
project diary.
How can you help with this new dorm project?

many times over. Contact our Volunteer Coordinator, Steve Simer at 503-436-9619 or
